It's interesting that the rudest posters on social media sites mostly use fake names.

Septle bonus 4/7. Weird word to pass my liips!

6/8 Septle.

News to me that the gherkin is any part of anyone's staple diet!

Seems we might get a second bite at the Brexit cherry. If we need a referendum on Europe, then surely one on Scottish membership of the UK is also essential.

Septle bonus 4/7. Though think it's usually two words! Stuck on main Septle!!

'It’s long past time the quasi-colonial post of Scottish Secretary was abolished... At minimum they must be stripped of the power to veto lawful legislation within devolved competencies passed by the Scottish Parliament.' weegingerdug, via The National archive.is/6gsnb

'People not only have had enough of neoliberalism; they know they have had enough of it. And even if they do not know what they wish to replace it with, they know they are looking for an alternative.' Richard Murphy

I trust Trump won't play the ageist card against the new Brazilian president, given that they are the same age!

Maybe Meghan will finally get an even break from the press - sins of the father and all that.

Can't believe the ages of some US politicians!

4/7 Septle bonus.

Septle 5/8.

Failed Wordle again. Though, in fairness, not a word I've ever used.

4/7 Septle bonus.

Septle 7/8.

Does the PM think that the thousands of jobs which could be created by retrofitting homes are not sufficiently pragmatic?

Failed Septle bonus. Too chewy for me.

7/8 Septle.

6/6 Wordle. Bad habit.

3/6 Wordle!

I don't doubt Swinney's sincerity, especially in relation to his wife and youngest son, what concerns me is his appetite for a fight or taking any risks.

People argue that Trump's pro Russia moves mean he has essentially "switched sides". All the more reason for us to ditch the American led Trident programme.

That noise you hear is Lindsay Graham birling in his grave.

Septle win, but is this really a word?

Blew Wordle yet again!

The political editors of both BBC Scotland and STV were in Lanarkshire today rather than the SNP conference in Aberdeen. Don't tell me the date of the PM's visit was accidental!

4/6 Wordle.

Maybe Reform's vetting process is faulty. Or maybe their assorted councillors etc do reflect that party's racist, misogynistic, homophobic values!

According to my esteemed colleague, David Pratt, Eritrea is on the brink of war. Seems an odd time for the Home Secretary to threaten collective punishment for that nation.

5/7 Septle bonus.

Septle 5/8.

At last 3/6 Wordle.

Would be good for BBC weather people to stop talking about "welcome rain" when we're had little else during the heatwaves - whatever they are!

Septle bonus 5/7.

Septle 7/8. Not a word in much use!

6/6 Wordle. Another odd word.

Septle bonus 5/7.

Septle 6/8.

Does anyone still believe a word of what Trump says/writes?

6/6 Wordle. Despite 3 correct in line 2! Very frustrating!
